a source with knowledge of the investigation tells cnn. and the source adds, there's alleged evidence to back it up. one of those mass murderers, according to cbs and "the hartford courant," is norwegian mass murderer, anders bravic, who in 2011, killed 77 people, mainly teenagers in oslo and a nearby island. unlike lanza, breivik was caught and convicted. one theory is that lanza idolized breivik, and wanted, as sick at it sounds, to outdo his body count. lanza reportedly may have chosen sandy hook elementary because its targets, children and teachers, were in a confined area. apparently, there may be some evidence to, in part, back up a possible obsession with breivik.
